Anchorage's real estate market is more competitive than ever, with home prices continuing to rise, according to new data from the Alaska Multiple Listing Service.

In 2013, homes spent an average of 49 days on the market before selling -- down 20 percent from the previous year -- and buyers are paying 99 percent of the last listing price, according to new data.

The average residential home price in 2013 was $346,977, up 7.8 percent over the average home price of $321,958 in 2011.

Homes listed in the $250,000 to $274,999 price range sold in an average of 34 days, the residential home market's quickest turnaround.

In short: It's a seller's market. Read more: http://www.adn.com/2014/01/09/3266181/prices-of-anchorage-homes-continued.html#emlnl=Breaking_News

January 10, 2014 http://www.pcworld.com/article/2086722/how-to-prevent-strangers-on-google-from-flooding-your-gmail-inbox.html#tk.nl_today

"If you use Google+ and Gmail, Google is about to open your email account to a whole new level of spam. A new feature rolling out over the next couple of days makes it possible for any Google+ user to email you, as long as they follow you on Google+—they don’t need to know your actual email address, and you don't even have to follow them back. And to make it even worse, Google took the Facebook approach by turning on the new feature by default.

Fun, right? Not so much. I’ve already got this new “feature” in my inbox and the first thing I did was turn it off. Today, I’m going to show you how to do the same thing.

But first, let’s cover the basics about how this new “email via Google+” feature works." READ MORE: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2086722/how-to-prevent-strangers-on-google-from-flooding-your-gmail-inbox.html#tk.nl_today

[...]

When the Settings panel opens, scroll down the “General” tab until you see “Email via Google+” label. (If you don’t see the new setting in your Gmail account, check back over the next few days, as the feature is still rolling out to all Gmail users.) Click on the drop-down menu and choose the setting that you’re most comfortable with. Remember, by default Google is letting anyone from Google+ send you unsolicited mail. I chose to stop Google+ emails completely by selecting “No one,” as you can see below...

"FAIRBANKS, ALASKA — A New Year's tradition has left residents in one Interior Alaska community off the grid.

The traditional way to ring in the new year is to shoot off guns at midnight on Jan. 1 in Tanana, a community of about 250 residents 150 miles west of Fairbanks.

But this year, one or more revelers with .410-gauge shotguns shot out one of the town's main fiber-optic cable lines." ... Read more: http://www.adn.com/2014/01/10/3266863/new-years-revelers-destroy-tanana.html#emlnl=Morning_Newsletter

Why Succession Planning is Important to Easements

Greeks Desperately Seek Good Authority in EU

John Psaropoulos at The New Athenian - 7 hours ago

This article was published by Al Jazeera English. The Greeks had said that theirs will be an austere presidency, and they showed from day one that they mean it. EU press rooms are normally lavishly catered. Greece produced canteens of black coffee and a number of sandwiches so small that their reputation traveled much further than they did. The EU presidency may not be the grand institution it was when Greece last held it in 2003, ushering in a massive expansion into Eastern Europe; heads of government and foreign ministers now have permanent chairs to their councils, sparing the ... more » http://www.thenewathenian.com/2014/01/greeks-desperately-seek-good-authority.html

Wall Street Lournal: Law & Order: Political Victims Unit and other news, editorials and opinions

Law & Order: Political Victims Unit

BY JAMES FREEMAN AND BRIAN CARNEY

LAW & ORDER: POLITICAL VICTIMS UNIT

Rep. Jim Jordan co-authored a letter this week to Attorney General Eric Holderexpressing outrage that an Obama political donor is leading the IRS investigation. Mr. Jordan tells us that the FBI informed the House Oversight Committee last fall that Assistant Director Valerie Parlave of the FBI's Washington Field Office was running the case. But the committee later learned from former IRS staff that Justice Civil Rights Division attorney Barbara Bosserman, the Democratic political donor, has taken the lead in questioning witnesses. Justice says it's not allowed to consider political affiliations in making personnel decisions. But we wonder why Congress only learned about her role from third parties.
Meanwhile, a Journal editorial this morning compares the IRS scandal to the September closure of New Jersey traffic lanes. And Peggy Noonan says there's a lesson in Jersey for politicians nationwide.

ECONOMISTS EXPECT JOB GAINS...

Today is job-report day. The consensus is for 200,000 net new jobs in December, and no change in the 7% unemployment rate.

...BUT PERHAPS NOT ENOUGH TO STOP PRINTING MONEY

Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Narayana Kocherlakota said Thursdayevening that weak inflation and "too high" levels of unemployment argue in favor of the central bank doing more to help the economy, reports Dow Jones. Meanwhile the European Central Bank seems just as eager to print more money.
